TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON<\/strong><\/p>\n

This cartoon has four panels, plus a tiny fifth “kicker” panel at the end. Below the entire cartoon, a large caption says SUCH AN EASY MISTAKE TO MAKE.<\/p>\n

All panels show two women, on a suburban looking sidewalk, waiting by a sign that says “bus.” \u00a0One woman has black hair in a ponytail, is wearing a hoodie and a calf-length black skirt, and is carrying a purse. The other woman has short, spiky blonde hair, a sleeve tattoo covering her left arm, and is wearing pinstripe pants with a black sweater-vest over a white tee shirt.<\/p>\n

PANEL 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

The woman with the ponytail is leaning towards the woman with the spiky haircut. The woman with a spiky haircut is holding a cell phone. (It’s a flip phone, because this cartoon was drawn in 2009 and flip phones were the ultimate in cool.)<\/p>\n

PONYTAIL: Excuse me, I overheard what you said on your cell phone… and I totally agree. A transsexual just isn’t a woman!<\/p>\n

SPIKY: Oh! Well, thank you. It sometimes feels like the whole idea of “woman” is being attacked.<\/p>\n

PANEL 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both women’s body language gets very energized as they bounce off each other’s ideas. Ponytail holds out her arms, palms up, in a “come on!” gesture; Spiky leans in, smiling, and holds up a finger to make a point.<\/p>\n

PONYTAIL: Exactly! I’m sorry, but there’s so much more to being a woman than wearing a dress or having some surgery!<\/p>\n

SPIKY: Yes, yes, yes! There’s something essential that men can’t just buy from surgeons!<\/p>\n

PANEL 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ponytail looks annoyed as she thinks about being called a transphobe; Spiky angrily agrees with her, spreading her arms wide.<\/p>\n

PONYTAIL: You wanna know what I really hate? The word transphobia!<\/p>\n

SPIKY: Me too! The word is a scare tactic they use to silence anyone who disagrees with the trans agenda.<\/p>\n

PANEL 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ponytail, very happy, holds her hands together in front of her. Spiky, smiling, holds a hand to her chest in a “me?” gesture.<\/p>\n

PONYTAIL: This is so nice… I love meeting other radical feminists!<\/p>\n

SPIKY: Radical feminist? Are you kidding? I’m a conservative Christian!<\/p>\n

TINY KICKER PANEL AT THE BOTTOM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ponytail facepalms as Spiky looks a little disappointed.<\/p>\n

SPIKY: Does this mean we can’t be friends?<\/p>\n
